Not a nice situation. Hope the goat pulls through for your kids sake.

The goat is in bad shape and I hate animals suffering so unsure what to do yet For now I have given her antibiotics and moved here into a hay shed. I don't really like goats but this one is a lovely animal so I bring my self to put her down. The kids are going to be devastated when I tell them.

If she suffers to much I'll do the right thing

would that be the goat that was tied up inside the family property ?

Obviously the dog wasn't one of yours ? Bloody hell , that's not good

good job on the dog, I hate dogs going on a rampage - had to bury 30+ goats myself once and put a few down after a pair of boxers decided the goat's throats didn't belong attached to their necks anymore...

That certainly isn't nice especially for the kids!

Worst I get in the burbs is the occasional cat fight.

Just spent the last two hrs with the goat Ive done all I possibly can now... She went into shock for a wile but I think I have managed to bring her around. I always thought I was a hard bastard but this poor innocent thing sent me to tears Some animals a more human than we think.

Was like this....She was on her side shallow breathing saw me and called out. I sat beside her and propped her up next to me and the whimpering was what cut me up After a long wile the shallow breathing stopped and I thought she was gone. Next thing a deep breath and started breathing again. When I left her she is now standing up so a good sign. So long as a major infection doesn't occur if I can stop her dehydrating we have a chance.

We've had similar with dogs in our Geese. 5 or 6 maimed in one go. Wished I'd had a 243 with me.....

Hope she pulls though.

Yep that's the goat. We had set her free for a wile but started eating the trees so put her back on the lead. Poor thing had no way of escape. I feel real bad now for this reason.
The dog is a long story. Just shows how well behaved your dogs are They never were a threat at all wile you were here

Far out!!!
Not nice at all, i hope the little fella pulls through alright
atleast the dog didn't get away with it

TIM.
